She came to visit my bed after being buried
So I kept kissing a bosom graced by her neck.
So I kept kissing a neck adorned with pearls
وقُلْتُand I said قُرَّةَdelight of عينيmy eye قدْindeed بُعِثْتِyou were resurrected لَنَاfor us
وقُلْتُ قُرَّةَ عيني قدْ بُعِثْتِ لَنَا
فكيفَso how ذَاthis وطَريقُand the path of القَبْرِthe grave مَسْدُودُblocked
فكيفَ ذَا وطَريقُ القَبْرِ مَسْدُودُ
And I said, “Delight of my eye, you have been resurrected for us—
And I said, my heart's delight, you have been resurrected for us
So how can this be, when the grave’s passage is sealed?”
So how, when the path to the grave is blocked?

She said, my bones are deposited there
The daughters of the earth and worms ravage them.
Where the daughters of the earth and worms prey on them

This is the visit of one who lies in a wretched grave
